There's something wrong with my role-playing system

Chapter 148

Rita suddenly changed the subject.

"In the past few days, I also painted a very good painting!"

"Mashiro, do you want to take a look?"

She said this with a smile, but the look in her blue eyes was slightly nervous.

"Rita's painting?"

After listening to Rita's words, Mashiro first tilted his head slightly, and then nodded gently.

"Want to see it!"

"If Mashiro wants to see it..."

"...It just so happens that I brought this painting over this time, so Mashiro...here it is!"

After hearing Mashiro's answer, Rita was secretly relieved.

She took out the painting from the crossbody bag at her side and handed it to Mashiro with a smile.

"this painting…………"

Taking over the painting that she had carefully framed from Rita's hand, Mashiro's innocent orange-red eyes showed ripples for the first time, but this ripple was unusually small.

It's not like Mashiro hasn't seen Rita's previous paintings, but in her opinion, those works are quite... mediocre!

Although Rita is indeed a genius, in front of Mashiro, she is really mediocre. And this one......

"…………so beautiful……"

Mashiro said this softly in a Mimo voice. She didn't know whether she was talking about the painting or the witch who was as beautiful as a fairy in the painting.

"How about it?"

After hearing Mashiro's whisper, Rita curled up her lips and felt extremely happy.

"This painting of mine......"

"...It should be okay, right?"

Mashiro, I have caught up with you!

Even at this time, I can't compare with Mashiro. but…………

I no longer have to watch Mashiro drift away while I stand still!

However, Mashiro didn't seem to feel Rita's mood.

Faced with her question, she had no intention of answering.

Mashiro just put the painting aside, took it off the easel, and laid a new layer of canvas.

What does Mashiro want to do?

Looking at Mashiro's movements, Rita couldn't help but think so.

However, Rita did not interrupt Mashiro, but watched her movements quietly.

I saw her taking out her paintbrush and lightly dotting the white canvas. Mashiro is drawing?

But why did she suddenly...

Rita thought in her mind.

However, she soon lost her mood to think about it.

because…………

As time passes, the reality of Mashiro's painting gradually appears in front of Rita's eyes.

Unlike Rita, who took most of a day to paint a painting, Mashiro completed most of the painting in just half an hour. White skirt, silver hair, grass, early morning sunshine...

Yes, the work that Mashiro painted at this time was the portrait that Rita had previously created for Izumi Chiha.

Mashiro wants to copy Rita's painting...

No, it should be said to be beyond!

Every time Mashiro touches the canvas, Rita's face becomes paler.

Because the painting reproduced by Mashiro is completely superior to Rita's original painting in every aspect.

In this comparison, Rita's painting looks more like a replica.

So, for Mashiro, that work that she was not sure of painting even if she tried it again, is it just a painting that can be easily reproduced, or even surpassed?

She has already caught up with Mashiro...

This idea is really ridiculous!

Sometimes despair is not terrible. What is terrible is giving people hope and then crushing it.

Before meeting Izumi Chiha, Rita never thought that she could catch up with Mashiro.

Because, when it comes to painting, Mashiro is a real monster. Rita has always been deeply envious...

No, he must be jealous of Mashiro's talent.

Perhaps, those who regard painting as the whole truth of their life are indeed qualified to possess this talent.

but…………

When she saw Mashiro's art exhibition in Germany, and when she realized the insurmountable gap between the two, Rita still felt deeply anxious and...fear!

That's why Rita, who was upset that day, wandered the streets of London and met Qianyu Izumi.

This girl who is as cute as Mashiro, but has nothing to do with painting, really makes Rita's restless mind become peaceful and happy. And the portrait with Izumi Qianyu as the model surprised Rita even more.

Like a ray of light in the darkness, Rita saw for the first time the possibility of catching up with Mashiro.

It wasn't even ambition, just a small idea that took root in the girl's heart.

However, before this sprout had time to grow, it was mercilessly killed by Mashiro.

Thinking of what she said to Izumi Qianyu and Mary before, Rita just felt funny.

Perhaps, from the beginning, she and Mashiro were people from two different worlds.

Perhaps her desire to catch up with Mashiro was just a delusion from the beginning. Rita bit her lip and said nothing, silently watching Mashiro complete the painting stroke by stroke.

Then, a short while later, the beautiful, fairy-like silver-haired witch appeared in front of Rita.

However, Mashiro only took a few glances, took the painting down, put it aside, and began to continue painting the unfinished painting before.

"………………"

Ah, is that so?

For her, the painting on which she placed all her pride and hope was, but for Mashiro, was it something she didn’t even want to take a second look at?

She was obviously happy and wanted Mashiro to see her progress.

But at this time, Rita's heart was filled with all kinds of negative emotions.

The despair that can only be denied after her hopes are shattered makes Rita unable to think normally at all.

After going to the airport twice, the fact that Mashiro was not seen resurfaced in Rita's mind again. Mingming had already known that the art exhibition would be extended, but he didn't inform her at all.

He knew clearly that she would come to pick her up, but he was unwilling to wait even for a moment.

Yes, Mashiro does have such a character.

Perhaps, Rita can use this reason to convince herself, but...

Mashiro, does he really regard her as his friend?

ps: I feel that this plot is a bit fast, but it has been laid out before, so it shouldn’t be so... abrupt, right?

Chapter 180: The boat of friendship capsizes at any time

The words Mary said last night kept echoing in Rita's mind.

At this moment, she actually agreed with Mary's words...

Of course, this doesn't mean that Rita thinks Mashiro is a freak.

In Rita's heart, Mashiro will always be that beautiful and aloof girl, as if she doesn't exist in this world.

But, is there a place for her in the heart of this elf-like girl?

To her, Mashiro is her best friend.

So, to Mashiro, what is she?

This problem had actually been hidden in Rita's heart, and at this point, she finally couldn't ignore it like before.

Looking at the two paintings placed casually on the table by Mashiro, Rita suddenly felt a little discouraged.

The negative emotions that had been suppressed in her heart and exploded because of Mashiro's behavior just seemed to disappear.

Rita.........just feels a little tired.

She recalled the ease of getting along with Izumi Qianyu, and this feeling became even stronger.

"truth,"

Rita looked at the girl who looked like an elf, pointed at the portrait of Izumi Qianha that Mashiro had engraved, and spoke softly.

"I like this painting of yours very much, can you give it to me?"

She remembered that Izumi Qianyu didn't like others to see her portrait.

And if Mashiro reproduces this painting, she might hang it in the art exhibition, so Rita has to ask her over.

"Um!"

Mashiro hadn't noticed Rita's change at this time, so he nodded slightly.

In fact, Mashiro simply liked the portrait painted by Rita, and then the painter's instinct was triggered, so he couldn't help but make another copy.

Since Rita likes it, give it to her.

And Rita looked at Mashiro's casual attitude towards the painting, and her blue eyes became darker.

She stepped forward to put away the two paintings, and looked at the painting that she had carefully framed, with an extremely complicated expression on her face.

Before, when looking at this painting, Rita felt extremely fond and proud.

But at this time, there was only sarcasm in her heart.

Rita put the painting into her bag, looked at Mashiro, and said in a low tone.

"Then... Mashiro, you can continue painting. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

After saying that, Rita wanted to turn around and leave.

However…………

"Rita?"

Mashiro grabbed Rita's sleeves, his orange-red eyes filled with confusion.

Although Mashiro is a natural idiot, the more pure and childlike a person is, the more he can see into other people's hearts.

She had obviously noticed something was wrong with Rita at this time, so she grabbed her sleeve and looked at her with doubtful eyes.

However, looking at the extremely pure girl next to her, Rita seemed to be stimulated by something, and she shook Mashiro away hard.

"Do not touch me!"
